About

I'm Ishide. Born and raised in Tokyo. I run KotobaAI, a Singapore-based company.

What I'm building

An AI product that generates natural Japanese posts for the Japanese market. Not translated, written. Currently at MVP stage, invite-only.

Who it's for

Executives, recruiters, and founders working across the border. People for whom a single hire, deal, or conversation in Japan really matters.

What I write here

What I'm building, and what I'm thinking along the way.
